In trying to educate my son on one of the world's best Rock groups, of course the Rolling Stones is part of the mix. I stumbled across this film created back in the 60's by Goddard. "Sympathy for the Devil" is a curious blend of recording studio footage of the young and upcoming Rolling Stones creating one of their best known masterpieces. We get to witness them developing this song. Unfortunately there is a second unrelated story line that stretches out the recording studio clips. It is interspersed with "artsey," social-political filmwork, but it is well worth the effort to see this wonder of Mick and Keith and the rest of the guys in the recording studio doing their thing, oblivious to the director's camera. For anyone who thinks music comes easy, this will be an eye opener. Sympathy for the Devil arrives in jerks and pieces, with much time and many cigarette breaks and days and days of work that transforms it at a snail's pace, but all the time the metamorphosis progresses. We all know what the final outcome will be and we get to witness the struggle that brought it to that end. I wish the director made available more such material or captured other artists in similar fashion. He has masterfully pieced together these snippets.Read full review
Classic Stones in the studio making one of the greatest rock N roll albums ever.

Sympathy for the Devil (2003, DVD), What I loved about this DVD was how historical it was and how it was produced, inside of a time frame when our music at that time was getting away from the basic blues or rythm&blues turned rock&roll to a deeper psychadelic mind set with a real european artist directing and the Rolling Stones Recording! I loved every second of this piece and would recomend it to anyone who not only loves the Rolling Stones but our music from that time in space!
Perfect
